My baby is growing up!

Well Ruppert bit me! I had 2 little fang marks on my hand between my thumb and pointer finger! I didn't even know he bit me until I saw the 2 little dots of blood! He didn't break any teeth either, which is a good thing. At least I didn't feel any in my hand and his mouth looks fine. I guess Ruppert doesn't like a big audience when he's out and about eh?
It was my fault..... too many people here asking questions about the snakes and I didn't pay attention to Ruppert himself.
My lesson was learned Ruppert, thank you!
Gee, my baby is growing up! LOL

Growing up!

Well, at least it didn't hurt... it's not usually the snake's fault. Everytime Talyn bit me (5times!) she had a good reason: I did something stupid or someone else did something to freak her out.
I got bit today by Q: I've got a huge bruise on my hand where she hit the vein and 7 teeth marks on the top of my hand and 7 teeth marks on the palm-side. It hurt a bit, but nothing tragic.
Just make sure your tetanus shots are up to date: that you had a booster in the last 5 years or so...
